4/09/27 EC's ltr. to Mr. [
2671]:
Mr. [
2671]
Miami, Florida
My dear Mr. [
2671]-
Yours of March 30th came just after I had mailed the last
reading given on Broad Creek, where the suggestion was made
that if Mr. [...] [your son] and Mr. [
943] would correlate
their ideas, and take all the information as had been given
and cut out any questions that might have hindered, and then
work out the directions as were given, and follow those
explicitly, they would be able to locate the treasure - and
I had been hoping that I would hear something from you all
respecting what has been done regarding this, before
following out the suggestions in your letter of the 30th.
So that's why you haven't heard from me before this!
Yes, I have thought about our trip to Florida, and about
meeting each and every one of you, and I've thought many
times about various conversations and circumstances that
arose during my stay there. Sometimes when I think of it,
Mr. [
2671], I don't wonder that you don't feel more juberous
[dubious] about it than possibly you do - for, seemingly,
there was so much of it that was a failure, thus far, that
you could hardly think anything else - and I'm honest to
say I don't understand - but I know, from all our years of
experience, there's something wrong somewhere! Whether it's
in the information, or in how the information was tried to
be applied, I don't know!
Yes, I've thought quite often of our ride that night - and
I didn't see you any more to tell you good-bye. I wonder if
you have ever had the other end of that dream, of if you
have seen that one you told me about work out. Of course,
I know, from the information that was given you last fall,
there are a lot of changes to come about - and we never did
have a chance to see whether we could get further information
concerning what that was that would happen to you in '28, I
believe it was. But, I am in hopes that we WILL have the
opportunity, if you still desire that we see what we can get.
Now, as regarding the information that was given respecting
[
996] Bimini - that seemed quite wonderful to me. You, from
having studied the situation, no doubt know whether any of
it is plausible or reasonable or not - while I, in my little
mind, don't. I've never had occasion to THINK along such
lines - never read of anything of the kind - don't know even
the possibilities of such a development - yet I believe, from
other information that has been given that HAS worked out,
this would work out, provided the individual uses same in a
correct way and manner. I know this: It isn't anything to
be toyed with. I don't know whether I ever told you of this
circumstance or not - I hate to think of it even sometimes.
Possibly it was only a coincidence. Anyway, here is the
tale, and it is a true one -
Some years ago (as you remember, possibly, I told you) I had
a contract with a Mr. Noe [A. C. Noe, Hopkinsville, Ky.]. He
was to do certain things and I was to do certain things, and
whatever profit was made out of it was to be divided equally.
In other words, he was to establish an office, furnish the
necessary means, etc., for the work to be conducted - certain
fees were to be charged for the work, and so on. Before I
would enter into the contract, I had several men - who were
supposed to be honorable, upright, good business men -
attorneys, lawyers, doctors - to hear one of the readings,
question it themselves, and tell me whether I had a right
to make such a contract or not. The contract was drawn.
The judges of the court - both county and circuit - told me
it was alright, legal, and everything. Six or eight months
after this was drawn, the circuit judge offered to pay
Mr. Noe several thousand dollars for his contract. Several
months later, when I felt Mr. Noe had abused the privileges
that had been given him, my father being a part to the
contract brought suit to try to make BOTH of us carry out
our contract. The case was tried before this judge, who had
given me a written opinion that the contract was legal, and
who had later offered to buy the contract from Noe, and he
ruled from his bench the contract was illegal, and dismissed
the case. Something within me at the time made me rise
and ask the judge if I might speak without being ruled as
contempt of court. He said I might speak. That same
something said, "For the lie you have this day enacted, the
worms of your body will eat you up while you are yet alive!"
In less than two years this was true, and he lived two years
in this agony. Possibly it was only a coincidence -
possibly it was playing with fire. Such may BE the reason
that we have not been able to follow out, or to follow to a
SUCCESSFUL END, information as has been given us concerning
these two treasures.
You know it has made me wonder a whole lot since I came back
- it was a MIGHTY pleasant trip in a lot of ways - it was
MIGHTY fine to meet all of you men! Everybody took special
pains to make things pleasant for each and every one of us
- everybody went to a whole lot of expense - and yet -
possibly we were all worse off in the end than if it hadn't
been. I know we all were - from the financial way, if we
look at it from that end. I know you all were, from a
financial way, if you look at it that way. But whether we
are to judge things like that in that way or not I don't know
whether I know or not! And I've tried mighty hard to find
out what's the trouble - and the nearest thing I've gotten
is what was given us in this last reading. We are not in
accord one with another!
Now, I'd like for you to write me what they did about this,
if anything. If you haven't done anything - if you would
like it, I'd like to go ahead and take the reading, just as
you have suggested here. I don't know whether we will get
answers to questions that are to prove conditions that
possibly do not relate to the treasure, and only relate to
the actions of individuals at the present time, or not, but
I'll be mighty glad to try. Let me know about it.
A few days after I returned from Miami, I was called to
New York. I wondered - while I was there - if Mrs. [
4498]
was still there. I thought once I'd wire you and ask you
- I would have liked to see her again, and to have met your
daughter there in school - but I thought possibly, even if
she was there, they were busy, and maybe they wouldn't want
to be bothered with anyone else just coming in. So I didn't.
But I had rather an interesting experience while there.
Something that seemed to answer, or possibly it made a big
question mark, from my worry of how things had turned out
in Miami. I was there for the week end - from Friday until
Monday afternoon. On Saturday I was invited to a dinner at
the Pennsylvania Hotel. There were two hundred and fifty
or three hundred people - guests - at the dinner. I did not
know, until that afternoon, that I was even expected to go
- and only the president of this club knew that I was
expected to come, but I found there twenty-three people,
for whom I had given physical readings, and each one CLAIMED
to have received personal benefits from same! Or I should
say, possibly, twenty-three people for whom I had given
readings, or some member of their family - and you know
there was not a single one of these people that I had ever
seen before (in my normal mind), nor not a one that had ever
seen me before - though some of them I had given readings
some fifteen years ago, and I had lived there in New York
for six or seven months at one time and they had never been
in to see me! Nor had I ever hunted a one of them up! Quite
a remarkable experience, wasn't it? Unusual - out of the
ordinary! But certainly one that would make a fellow think.
If these people HADN'T received benefits, they wouldn't have
any reason to stand up there before all the rest of those
people and tell them they did! I wasn't anybody to make a
fuss over! And I certainly had never tried to make a fuss
over them! But, evidently, there is something IN the
information these people got, that they were able to apply!
Why can't we do it in this? What's wrong? Is it the
character of the information - the purpose of the information
- the character of the individuals - or the purpose of the
individuals? It's a hard thing to reason, isn't it? Maybe
there ISN'T any reason - BUT - if you could just see the
letters we get every day, and see the effect the information
does have on the hearts and lives of people, you know it is
worth while or they are the darnest liars there are in this
country! And isn't that it brings any great thing for me
- it WASN'T! Not in this world's goods - but the thing that
is worth while, that it makes husbands say they are better
husbands, and fathers, and sons and daughters that they are
better sons and daughters - treat their own families better
- treat their own neighbors' families better - and LIVE
better! and they've got more hope for the life to come!
But I don't want to run on with a whole lot of this, for
I know you are tired now.
Please remember us all to Mrs. [
4498], Miss [
4501] and
Junior. Let us hear from you, and with kindest personal
regards to you, I am
Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce [EC:GD]
4/16/27 Mr. [
934]'s ltr. to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce,
Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Mr. [
4825] and I made another trip to Broad Creek channel
the first of the week and made a thorough search in and
around the triangle as mentioned in readings but found
nothing. I can not see how it could be in the immediate
surroundings as we have covered the ground more than once.
If it is there it must be under the mangrove roots some
distance. Stakes was placed in many places and numbered
and I am anxious to know if you will give us the stake
nearest the treasure and if the treasure is above ground
- how large a box and what shape. If the treasure is under
mangrove roots and leaves - give depth. I believe that if
you can get us the information as to the exact distance from
the entrance of the channel from the main channel as follows:
Place compass at entrance of small run and give number of
feet in a direct line as NW or N as the compass would show
and from that distance give number of feet E or NE as the
compass would show, if this information can be had we might
locate same. I am very anxious to locate this as I would
like very much to repay Mr. [
2671] what expense he has been
too with reference to trying to locate these treasures. I
believe that they can be located when followed out as the
instructions given and it is my earnest desire to try to do
that. We are passing away many valuable hours that would be
devoted to the World proposition if we only had the means of
getting necessary capital to start us going. Now that I am
not connected with Mr. [
2671] any more, I trust that you will
try and get the information for me as quickly as possible.
I have felt from the beginning that maybe Mr. [
2671]'s
attitude towards the whole proposition might be the cause
of not locating any of these treasures. Have had many
arguments with him and will tell you in detail when I see
you. If [
4825] and I should locate either of the treasures
at Broad Creek channel or at Bimini it is my desire to give
Mr. [
2671] his proposition after all expenses had been taken
care of and would turn over my share to the cause as directed
by the forces as would all future monies obtained in this
manner or in any manner through information given by the
Powers that Be.
We have not had a chance to get to Lostman's River as yet
and will try to get there next week if possible. Will
advise you as soon as we do.
Have been getting my office in condition this week and will
be open for business this next week. I have one of the
nicest offices on Flagler Street, but, would rather be
devoting my time to the completion of the plans as were
outlined in the Organization of the world of finance
[
3976-4 & 5] and I know that you would to for the great
good that can be done for Humanity will live in the hearts
of men long after we are gone and I would rather occupy that
niche in world history than to have all the money of the
world. With the completed organization you would become
the greatest factor for the good of Humanity since the
birth of Christ.
Please let me hear from you at your earliest possible time
and with kindest personal regards to you and family. [
4477]
enjoyed the pictures very much for which accept my thanks.
Sincerely yours, [
943]
4/19/27 Mr. [
2671]'s ltr. to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce
Your letter of the 9th came but we have been so torn up &
busy - yet I've studied it over several times closely.
I can't say what is wrong with our treasure hunt it is a
mystery to me. If there was nothing to it why could you
tell so precisely the details both in Bimini [[
996] series]
& Broad Creek [[
1274] series] - yet when we go there we
search the places you give in location and find nothing.
It must be that we have the wrong tree at Bimini [
996]
and the wrong Creek at Broad Creek [
1274] Channel - or
something.
Mr. [
943] and Mr. [
4825] are out for themselves at present
in one of the offices on ... St. Will try to sell Real
Estate until something develops of interest. They are well
equipped and well located, and have been down once or twice
recently to Broad Creek [
1274] channel looking but I don't
think they have located anything - presume they have written
you.
In the third paragraph of your letter you mentioned my
reading [
2671-4] and I assure you that I will appreciate
it if you will try to find what will happen to me or my
business in 1928.
I will also appreciate it also if you will give me another
reading on Broad Creek [
1274] Channel Treasure - and let
me see what I can work out -. I have checked carefully your
former readings and maybe I have an idea that will help -
I have tried to assimilate all conditions - distances -
directions and locations in all the various readings with
a view to getting the results sought - and I am sure there
are some points that we have all overlooked. Maybe these
are VITAL. I am sure one of them is. I want to go again
and make another search which I will do as soon as I can
after receiving your next reading.
On the trips in the past I have tried to pull out, by
argument and every other way I could, the different ideas
of other members of the party - in order to try & get a
different idea from their reactions on the information in
hand in the hope that I might reach a conclusion that would
give results - sometimes because of my ATTACKS they felt
that I was skeptical, suspicious and doubtful as to your
position and the information given sometimes they agreed
with me, again I could get an expression that was worth
while - all in all we have done our best so far and I believe
that I more than anyone else realize your position and the
fact that you give the information as it is given to you
also that you have no power to change it other than the
power that works through you - we have to take that as
it is given through you and try to work it out and by
assimilating the directions find the answer. Consequently
I will be glad to try further on the treasure at Broad Creek
[
1274] and at Bimini [
996] - But as we are working on Broad
Creek Channel now will be glad to have you give the
information asked in my former letter together with any
additional information you may be able to get.
Also please don't forget me on 1928 [
2671-4] when have the
opportunity.
I note what you say about NOE. I knew him personally while
he was at the Alta Vista across the street from the Halcyon
and feel that your knowledge and mine as to him is similar -.
I repeatedly refused to have any business with him or to be
connected in anyway with any of his schemes - I think this
was the same man you refer to -.
I have read with interest your trip to N.Y. Mrs. [
4498] was
there and I'm sure she and [
4500] would have been mighty glad
to see you. She was there about two weeks then they both
came to Washington after [
4500]'s graduation and stayed in
Washington another year - Then Mrs. [
4498] came home & [
4500]
went back to N.Y. for a month's special finishing work and
will be home early in May -. We appreciate your thought
of us and hope sometime to see you and your family and
Miss Davis when we can all sit down and review - it all
over to our mutual satisfaction and by then possibly we will
have TREASURE and personal information to talk about.
I'm still thinking & wondering - what it is! What it can be
and whether that same something - will lead me right - I hope
so.
With kindest personal Regards also to Mrs. Cayce and Junior
and Miss Davis in which all my family join me - I am
Sincerely, [
2671]
P.S. Please excuse this long drawn out letter.
